" The fifty colored plates 

 in this truly sumptuous 

 ^volume are most beautiful 

 and accurate. . . . Such 

 books as this one add ne*w 

 interest to life." — Scientific 

 American. 



An introductory acquaintance with 1 50 of our common birds, with 

 52 superb full-page pictures in color photography from the birds them- 

 selves. John Burroughs, the highest authority on this subject, who has 

 annotated the text, says of the colored plates, in his introduction : 



" When I began the study of birds I had access to a copy of Audubon, which greatly 

 stimulated my interest in the pursuit, but I did not have the opera glass, and I could 

 not take Audubon with me on my walks, as the reader may this volume, and he will 

 find these colored plates quite as helpful as those of Audubon or Wilson." 



This book makes the identification of our birds simple and positive, 

 even to the uninitiated, through certain unique features.
